Determinate vs. deterministic
{"Image DocumentName": "Determinate vs. deterministic", "Image ImageDescription": "Kahn (1974) calls a system determinate if we will always obtain the same result for a fixed set (and timing) of inputs. Others call this property deterministic However, this term has several meanings: Non-deterministic finite state machines. Non-deterministic operators (e.g. + with non-deterministic result in low order bits) Behavior not known before run-time (unknown input results in non-determinism) In the sense of determinate as used by Kahn. In order to avoid confusion, we use the term determinate in this course.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
